Chapter 20: Flatbread
If utilizing heated metallic solved the present downside of cooking, the strategy of turning stones into explosives significantly enhanced the group’s fight capabilities.
This specific capability appeared in Dong Junwei, who had all the time been the group’s chief.
Though they have been all the identical age, Dong Junwei, who served as the category monitor for 3 years in highschool, was extremely revered within the class. Maybe it might sound a bit self-congratulatory for an adolescent on the age of sixteen or seventeen to speak about respect, however the reality was that Dong Junwei was extra mature in all features than her friends. She by no means acted superior due to her household background, treating everybody within the class equally and caring for each certainly one of them, be it in lecturers or every day life.
Chen Mu even felt that she was treating the category as a rehearsal for her future office.
Regardless, Dong Junwei’s character and skills have been evident to all.
Nonetheless, their pleasure did not final lengthy.
All of the sudden, Dong Junwei swayed after which slowly squatted down.
Tang Jing occurred to be by her facet and rapidly reached out to assist her, stopping her from falling.
“What’s mistaken?”
“Feeling unwell?”
Everybody gathered round.
Chen Mu thought of his personal expertise and rapidly understood Dong Junwei’s scenario. He defined, “It must be as a result of utilizing her capability too ceaselessly, inflicting psychological exhaustion. Are you feeling dizzy?”
Dong Junwei nodded, however she could not converse a phrase.
“However the monitor did not do a lot, only a piece of iron ore and a stone.”Ñ00v€l–ß1n hosted the premiere launch of this chapter.
“She simply woke up not way back, so she’s in all probability comparatively weaker for now. She ought to regularly develop stronger sooner or later,” Chen Mu defined.
Dong Junwei felt barely higher at this level and requested Chen Mu, “How lengthy do I must relaxation for my psychological energy to completely get well?”
Chen Mu replied, “I am not solely positive, however this must be just like bodily energy. Relaxation a bit longer, and you may get well a bit extra. Sleeping ought to totally restore it.”
“I perceive.”
Initially, Dong Junwei needed to experiment with another issues, however her present situation made her not dare to overdo it.
Feeling dizzy was actually uncomfortable.
After letting Dong Junwei relaxation, Chen Mu turned his gaze again to the iron block that had been heated earlier, because it was nonetheless half of his weapon.
Nonetheless, when he tried to the touch the iron block, he discovered that it hadn’t cooled down in any respect.
“How about utilizing it to pop some popcorn?” somebody instructed.
“Or I could make an iron pot and cook dinner some rice with water?” Chen Mu proposed.
His phrases have been met with unanimous approval from everybody. Though they did not often have any particular emotions about rice, after consuming solely desserts for 2 days, they have been beginning to really feel a bit overwhelmed. So long as that they had steaming scorching rice, they may eat it three massive bowls full and be content material.
Contemplating that the iron block has began to rust, Chen Mu provides a skinny layer of stainless-steel on high.
Nonetheless, relating to making flatbreads, there are nonetheless many issues.
First, they haven’t any oil, so the rice batter rapidly sticks to the stainless-steel, and the perimeters flip charred black.
Second, they can not management the temperature very effectively.
With out rice, it is arduous to make porridge.
When Chen Mu lifts up the primary “flatbread,” which appears to be like disastrous, everybody has misplaced their urge for food.
“I will give it a strive.”
Wei Dalei, who has by no means been choosy about meals high quality, was the primary to return over. Ignoring the warmth, he grabbed one of many flatbreads and began munching on it with out hesitation.
“It is okay, fairly aromatic, only a bit dry, a bit burnt, a bit bland, a bit coarse, and a bit tough on the mouth,” Wei Dalei wiped his mouth and continued chewing.
Is that this thought of “okay”?
Everybody was speechless.
However that they had no selection however to eat it.
In spite of everything, it was the one meals that they had now.
Thankfully, Chen Mu’s second flatbread turned out higher, as he gained some expertise from the primary try.
Tang Jing took it in her hand and had everybody break off a chunk to fill their stomachs.
“Certainly, it is okay.”
“Higher than I imagined.”
“It is like consuming two-day-old sponge cake.”
“Not unhealthy contemplating the circumstances.”
…
Amidst the chatter of the group, they completed the entire flatbread.
Chen Mu, who was each a blacksmith and a cook dinner, savored the third flatbread alone.
Truthfully talking, it wasn’t tasty.
Nevertheless it was satisfactory.
It have to be mentioned that if you decrease your expectations infinitely, life can nonetheless be bearable.
Ultimately, the scholars of Class 4 of their senior yr lastly had their first correct meal.
